 Welcome my name is Dylan Schumacher Just two weeks ago. I was promised that this was a temporary order. We're gonna have a sunset provision There's a no penalty clause. We've got to do something and now we are here two three weeks ago And we already want to extend this until March and I wonder how long before we do the same bait and switch with the no penalty clause This council of red coats is an exact in is an excellent example of why we used to tar and feather people in this country a body of petty tyrants who want to overstep their bounds the Trampling of individual civil rights to legislate its way out of a virus is a short-sighted inept and dim-witted as it sounds We have a virus with a 99% survival rate, which to my knowledge no virus anywhere has ever obeyed the laws that men make Yet we're trying to fix this with ink and high-minded deliberations If lockdowns and masks are effective Then why is every state that has had lockdowns had to re-issue them if masks were why in Minnesota where they've had mask mandates for months? Are they still having spiking in cases? I? Moved to this state specifically to avoid this kind of problem And I can't believe that I have to be the one to tell you this but part of your job is to protect my rights This is America. We have a body of government that derives its power from the consent of the government Part of your job is to form my protect my rights to life my rights liberty and my rights to happiness and Yet the cowardly rhetoric that I often hear when I when I watch the tapes back from this council is something along the lines of I believe in liberty, but in This backdoor language reveals that you have as much concern for liberties as the Tories who preceded you You can't make a law requiring face cover. I mean, yeah, we can vote on it You're gonna bang a little hammer and we're gonna write it into law. I get that But you don't have the authority. We're not serfs. We're not slaves in this country We are free citizens and we have enumerated rights that are outside of your reach. I Don't want to be here. I shouldn't have to be here I'd rather be at home watching a movie drinking some bourbon to hang out with my kids Instead I have to come down here Because either your lust for power or your feel fear or your felt me to do something Has compelled you to sacrifice on the altar of safety our most important safeguard Our civil rights keep us safe Our civil rights are what keep us safe Not the police not the government not the laws and most assuredly not a burka eat it I'm far more concerned with a group of people who want to take away my rights Then I will ever be of some mindless virus a virus is gonna come and go But someone who thinks they need to make me do something for my own good Won't stop until I obey all their decrees You might say I'm making too big a deal of this It's just a mask. It's a special circumstance. It's only temporary you might please and to that I would reply that again the virus will come and go But freedom which is paid for in blood is easily lost and not soon regained And I intend with a full figure of all of my faculties to keep every ounce of liberty that's been afforded to me braver men and women than you have sacrificed more on that altar Then you could fathom and they did it to purchase what actually keeps me safe They spent it to preserve my rights and my freedoms They spent their very life blood so I could be a free man in a free nation with the free people and I would sooner join their sacrifice Then give up an iota of the precious gift that they haven't trusted us to safeguard Thank You Dylan Others would like to have input tonight
